Here is the specific terms and its definition:

David L. DeMets
Professor of Biostatistics and Statistics




David DeMets received a Ph.D. in Biostatistics from the University of Minnesota. The general theme of his research is the design, monitoring, and analysis of clinical trials, especially the randomized controlled clinical trial. A particular interest is developing statistics methodology for data monitoring and interim analysis. A very general and flexible method was developed by Lan and DeMets (1983, Biometrika) for group sequential boundaries using alpha spending function approach. This method removes restrictions of previous methods for requiring a fixed number of prespecified equally spaced analyses. Furthermore, the frequency of the interim analyses can be modified as decision points are reached. This alpha spending function approach can be applied to trials which compare means, proportions, survival curves, or regression curves. In addition to this statistical methodology, issues in the design of clinical trials, such as the role of surrogate outcome measures and multiple outcomes, are being considered.
